Storage
In my opinion, any smoothie is best right away. You can store it in the fridge, but it will lose that frosty consistency. My preferred method is to pour it into an ice cube tray and blend the cubes again when you’re ready.
Tips & Tricks
- Blend smoothly – Use a high-speed blender for the best creamy texture.
- Use a tamper – Helps to push down the contents and blend evenly.
- Add liquid slowly – Start with less milk and add more for your desired thickness.
- Meal prep – Freeze blended smoothie in ice cube trays for quick future use.
- Fresh bananas – Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor.
- Vegan options – Substitute dairy milk with coconut milk, almond milk, or any non-dairy milk.
Recipe Notes & FAQ:
Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?
Frozen bananas give a thicker and creamier texture. If using fresh, add ice cubes to get a similar consistency.
What if I don’t have a high-speed blender?
A regular blender or food processor will work, but you may need to blend longer and add a little more liquid.
Can I add protein powder?
Yes, adding a plant-based protein powder is a great way to boost protein content.
How can I make it nut-free?
Use seed butter instead of peanut or almond butter, and check that your toppings are nut-free. I like sunflower seed butter.
